Offered for sale with granted planning permission is this three-bedroom detached character residence, situated on a highly desirable road in Sonning. The property benefits from a generous south-facing rear garden and is approached via an impressive sweeping in-and-out driveway.
The approved planning permission provides an incoming owner with the opportunity to transform the property into a substantial six-bedroom, six-bathroom home arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 5,000 sq ft. This represents an exciting prospect and the potential to create an exceptional family home. CGI images of the proposed front and rear elevations, as well as a floor plan, are included within the marketing materials.
Upon entering the existing property, the main hallway leads to the dining room, a characterful living room featuring exposed wooden beams and an open fireplace, a fitted kitchen overlooking the rear garden, a utility room, a downstairs W/C, and a family room, also enjoying views of the garden.
On first floor there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a further single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The top floor provides a usable attic room with access to an en-suite bathroom.
Externally, the rear of the property offers an extensive garden predominantly laid to lawn, with gated side access, a patio area, shed, and lean-to. To the front, the property is approached via a gravel in-and-out driveway.
The property is conveniently located within 2 miles of Twyford mainline railway station, offering Crossrail services, and approximately 5 miles from Reading station, providing excellent connections to London Paddington. The A4 and A329M/M4 are also easily accessible by car. Nearby amenities include idyllic Sonning pubs, Sonning Golf Club, Woodley shopping precinct, and a selection of well-regarded schools such as Bluecoat, Waingels College, Sonning Primary, and Willowbank Primary.

Mortgage finance
We advise all bidders who require a mortgage to confirm with their Financial Advisor as to whether or not the lot you are interested in would be suitable security to borrow finance against, prior to bidding. If you need to arrange a mortgage it is important that you obtain an offer from your lender before the day of the auction. Most building societies and banks will instruct a surveyor to prepare a valuation report before making a mortgage offer.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
